NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says Alex Rodriguez is a “really good man” and doesn’t deserve to get booed upon his return to Yankee Stadium.

“I don’t appreciate that,” Giuliani said about the boo-birds in a video posted by TMZ.com on Wednesday.

A-Rod was roundly jeered by Yankees fans during his nightmarish postseason in 2012. Donald Trump even ripped him on Twitter — again and again. And now Rodriguez is wrapped up in MLB’s investigation into Biogenesis and performance-enhancing drugs.
